To work as a CNA in Oklahoma, you must first acquire a nursing assistant certification. This can be done by passing the nursing assistant competency evaluation examination, which is offered by Headmaster. To be able to take this exam, you must first complete the necessary training. That is why your first step is to look for a state-certified NA training course.

Because of the high demand for this profession, training programs are found in almost all local community colleges. There are also selected nursing homes and hospitals that offer the training. Although each training facility has its own set of requirements for enrollment, the state does require them to accept only those who are at least 18 years old; possess a high school diploma or a GED; be sound of mind and physically capable of taking care of patients; and have a clean record. Having a clean record is important so you can pass the state and federal background checks to see if you have any criminal offenses.

Nurse aide training programs are required to offer at least 75 hours of classroom lectures and 16 hour of on-the-job training. Their instructors must be registered nurses with sufficient working experience and some background experience with either training adults or supervising nursing assistant students. When enrolled, you will be trained in different nursing concepts like infection control, therapeutic communication techniques, personal care, safety, respecting the patient’s rights, and promoting their independence.

If you complete a program, you can then try to apply for the state exams. You can get the application forms from your instructor or download a copy from the Headmaster official website at www.hdmaster.com. To get into the NAR, you must pass the knowledge test and the clinical skills test. During the day of your exam, please make sure to come at least 30 minutes before the actual time to avoid being late. Late arrivals will no longer be allowed to take the portion that they are late for.  Once you pass the exams, you will then be given your nursing assistant license and your name will be applied to the state registry.

If you wish to further your skills and knowledge as a nursing assistant, not to mention your career, you can enroll in advance courses. You can also achieve to become a CNA II or III. To qualify for CNA II training, you must maintain a clean record and work for at least 6 months as a nursing assistant in the same nursing facility.

Because of the contract that the OSDH made with the state Department of Career and Technology Education and the Tulsa Community College, training for CNA II is free for those who meet the requirement.
